THINGS TO DO IN PARIS ? [September 2014]

Here is what’s up in Paris for the rest of the month of September. A little late on the trigger with this one, but as they say “better late than never”, right?

This autumn in Paris is filled with tons to do on the weekend, brunches, concerts, and cultural activities. I’m very excited about the first ever StreetFood Festival at Carreau de Temple and the 1950s Fashion Exhibition at Musee Galleria. ?Food and Fashion. C’est normal!

Claus

Paris is not known for its breakfast tales, but Claus is in town to change that. This tiny 2 floor restaurant has the cutest arrangement?of breakfast products for stacked on shelves, everything including??jams, spreads and breads. ?Eating in the room upstairs was delightful as the cool breeze came in from the window.

Tip: Make a reservation in advance (yes for breakfast or brunch), tables go quite fast!

WANDER

Rue Faubourg Saint Denis is one of the best places to get a drink because of the plethora of Bars, old style Cafes, hipster restaurants and side streets that had their fair share of concert halls and Fruits stalls. On any day or night of the week, this street literally never sleeps.

STAY?

Cute hotel on a cute street, central location.
